Wreckage
The crash site of this Zero is known to local villagers, but was scrapped.

Justin Taylan searched this area in 2006:
"Locals knew of an aircraft crash in this area, but reported it was removed or scrapped, or this could be P-400 Airacobra AP378 in this same area. Villagers remember the site of the crash, but time did not allow for a survey of that location for any remaining evidence."
